Heroes of Newerth Update 2.0 Launches With New Map, Casual Mode
by Alice O'Connor, Dec 14, 2010 9:00am PSTDeveloper S2 Games has launched the much-vaunted update 2.0 for Heroes of Newerth, its revamp of popular Warcraft III tactical action-RPG mod DotA. The new client can be found on FileShack in Windows, Mac and Linux flavours.
HoN 2.0 brings heaps of changes, including a new 3v3 map, friendly 'Casual Mode' and map editor. There's also now a microtransaction store for cosmetic items, including a voice pack which plays wonderfully into the stereotype of HoN players as terrible people without a shred of decency in their bodies. The long-overdue matchmaking, slated to launch with this update, is still undergoing testing and currently disabled.
Here's a peek at some 3v3 action on the new map, Grimm's Crossing:

Will DOTA2 not have to catch up and always be behind these two games as far as content and refinement, or are most of you like "WTF man its DOTA its godly better than everything else."
Will be interesting... all I can think is that DOTA2 has to have a billion times better graphics wise for everything else is already in the other two. Maybe gear would actually show on the characters, maybe through in loot drops and make gear persistent, then again that would destroy the balancing.
Hmmm we will see what will make it different and better if at all, the whole thing with DOTA2 seems still weird to me.
Do any of you LoL and HoN guys even care about DOTA2?
